Hi All,
I just read an article on IEC 60950-1 2nd edition in Compliance
Engineering, and I was wondering if the standard has actually
been released. 

One one of the changes I read about was that DC Hipot testing is
no longer allowed.  
Can anyone confirm that this requirement has changed in the new
standard, and if so, does anyone know the rationale for this?

This has a huge impact on the testing of power supplies that
have Y caps to ground. It would in effect require disconnection
of any caps to ground, and this would dramatically impact
production line testing.

Regards

Doug
